A utilitarian object transformed into Pop Art. A well-used, obviously very handy working oversized bulldog clip. A really unique object for creative display but also in it’s own right has the presence of a Readymade.

PRIVACY PLEASE
As soon as we brought this screen into the shop yesterday it transformed the space. A woven reproduction of artist Marchetti’s late 18th Century interior scene has an air of grandeur and the scale alone adds drama to a space. Very theatrical.

LATE 21A TO MORE COMMODIOUS PREMISES
Announcing M.Goldstein’s latest acquisition: The fitted interior of Bates gentlemen’s hatters, formerly at 21a Jermyn Street, St James. The reason we have been closed for two weeks is for the removing of this Victorian mahogany interior from the original location and then relocating it to our Hackney Road premises. Already it looks like it’s always been here.
MONKEY MAGIC
Meet our new friend. He’s a Victorian preserved monkey dressed in a pink silk jacket. A much loved former show monkey. There was a fascination with monkeys, especially dressed as humans at this point in history (Monkeyana). This was post Darwin’s theory of evolution and it was a popular topic of debate as to our relationship to the primate. Monkey nuts!
